26 - just scraping by climbing my age. Next year will be a whole new world. At one stage in my climbing career i climbed 10 grades harder than my age. oh well.

I thought it was "you're only as old as the girl/boy you feel" :-)

It's been over 26 years since I was born, but most people who know me will attest to the fact that the age I act is more like the grade I climb, and I certainly can't climb anywhere near 26...

hi dodgy - talk about feeling 21 or climbing grade 37s? ;-) ...the latter should be interesting...

Hey,
I'm 17, so I guess relatively young... I've led my age on sport but not trad yet!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Here's an idea. Should I add "date of birth" as an optional field in the forum profiles? This way members could see the age of other members by viewing their profile, and I could have the forum say something like "Happy birthday to ...." on the appropriate dates, on the main page, (near where it currently says "Welcome to our newest member").

Or would that be too much personal info? The field would be non mandatory, and viewabled only by logged on members. Nice idea?

Update: I've added Date Of Birth to the profiles, if anyone want's to enter theirs, it will now show your age when the profile is viewed by a logged on user. Plus happy birthday messages will appear on the main page.

31, turning 32 in about a week. Perhaps now would be a great time to do punks - 31/2.

Not bloody likely.

I have climbed my age once - a grade 25 the day before my 26th birthday. I was motivated.

Age is a state of mind I always say....

30, fitter and stronger than ever - but not climbing much better.... :(
